Dysfunctional families

Pride and Prejudice
Outline

In pride and prejudice the Bennett family is very dysfunctional. A dysfunctional family is a family where there is conflict and disregard for the others. Mr.Bennett is particularly inconsiderate of the women in his family. He loves to make fun of them and shows no concern for Lydia's well being when she wanders off and engages in mischief. He sees the members of his family as items for amusement rather than showing true love and care for his children and wife. Similarly Mrs.Bennett sees her children as means to climb the social latter. All she cares about is reputation and money. While one may argue that she simply wants the best for her children, her view of "the best" is categorized by material achievements. Rather than wanting her daughters to be happy, her only concern is that they marry into money.

lines 63-83

Hamlet

Body language: Have Hamlet walking back and forth turning each time his decision alters, signifying hamlet's internal conflict between life or death. looks up to the sky a lot, as if he is searching for an answer from a higher power. 

Emotion: On the verge of tears, breaking down mentally and emotionally. He is becoming more vulnerable than ever. 

Sad about the death of his father, and resents his mother for marrying Claudius. 

Line delivery: He is crying and hysterical the entire soliloquy. He emphasises certain words and phases such as: "to die to sleep", almost screaming when he says this. 

In class project

Dean and i chose the Hamlet monologue. We decided to portray Hamlet as an angry and frustrated man. He takes his anger that he has for his mother out on all woman. We thought that Hamlet should express his anger and frustration by pacing back and forth using a lot of hand motions
